The Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Kate, have released their holiday card, with a photo showing a tender family moment with their three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
The photo, shared on Instagram, radiates warmth and perseverance, embodying the holiday spirit.
The royal couple, with smiles on their faces, hug their children in the photo, accompanied by a heartfelt message: "We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year."
This year, the greeting card has a special emotional value, as the family has survived a difficult year.
In March, Kate revealed she had been diagnosed with cancer after a routine abdominal operation, which was initially thought to have no cancerous changes.
She shared her struggle publicly, noting, "Life as you know it can change in an instant."
Prince William described 2024 as "brutal" during a visit to South Africa in November, acknowledging the challenges his family has faced. "It's probably the hardest year of my life," he said. "But I'm so proud of my wife and my father for how they've handled it."
Despite the challenges, the royal family has shown unwavering unity, with Kate saying in her video in September: "The last nine months have been extremely difficult for us as a family... but we have found a way to navigate the turbulent waters."
By sharing their Christmas message, the family sent a strong message of perseverance, love, and unity, offering hope and inspiration to everyone during this holiday season.
